You know you can replace the RAM on basically any old laptop regardless of brand? There's nothing special about these.
>>107533930>Tiny ass keyboard made for women's handsThis is why I hate apple products of that era, their physical design was always retarded
>>107533818It's shilling anon.Honestly they're not as great as they used to be, and there's tons of laptops that can do the same exact thing for a way more affordable price.
>>107533818thinkpads have the perfect combination of a good keyboard, the hardware is reliable and doesn't shit the bed on me and they fitc my ideal aesthetic of a laptop.
>>107535115What do you mean? Just a normal laptop keyboard.
They were the dominant business laptop brand for a long time with the best feature set of any of the competition, and since they were the most abundant, they went for the cheapest after recycling auctions dumped them on ebay.At their peak you could get a T420 for like $200 and it would be an objectively better laptop than anything new of a similar caliber because mobile processors kinda stagnated for a while there. A mobile broadwell i5 wasnt that much better than a sandy bridge one in practice.Less of a thing now, modern ryzen apus made even shit tier consumer laptops pretty functionally capable and modern thinkpads dont really differentiate themselves from the other business laptop competition that much.But for a solid while there it was thinkpad or nothin
Is /g/ rich enough to afford 1 (one) RAM stick?
>>107535195>I just kind of have this lone RAM stickone is all you need ;)
>>107534273Just download more ram.It's free real estate.
>>107534631do NOT redeem the ram
>>107534273It is only the high-density UDIMMs that are actually expensive (32-48GiB). The smaller modules (8GiB-16GiB) are still affordable, but they are hardly cheap.

Taylor Swift still uses a 13 Pro.Why do you feel the need to try so hard? Smartphones should last 5 years minimum.
I still use an iPhone 13, works completely fine
>>107535986Had a model that came a few generations before that, it worked great but i was forced to get a new one because i couldn't update or download anymore
>>107530044I use a 14 Pro Max and honestly don't see myself upgrading for at least 5 more years. When this thing dies I might just get a dumb phone and call it quits on new tech.
>>107530044How do you know it's 13 Pro?
I've never owned an Apple product and have no idea what the newest Iphones are
So, how do I maximize the longevity of my PC components? I don't want to have my RAM die on me when this shit ends up costing $2000+ in a few years.

Why do people act like this isn't extraordinary technology?I see people calling AI a glorified search engine, but it's clearly far more than that. The ability to focus on what a user specifically wants, and infer points of confusion on the user's end before clarifying them in detail is nothing short of incredible. It can produce in minutes what would normally takes hours, if not days of manual searching from the user.Much gets made of AI replacing artists, but if you ask me, the real job it replaces is the educator. Teaching standards are already dropping to unprecedented levels, and now human teachers are completely and utterly outclassed by a far superior source of information; one capable of immediately aggregating data and providing the sources to go with it. I've been doing some research for a software project I'm making, and the free version of ChatGPT has helped me more in a handful of hours than months worth of classroom attendance just by providing focused, explanation-backed information.
>>107534481Retard. Given a transformer and its state, you can predict the NEXT token, but not the 10th token after that. Although this is only a possibility, it could be that there's no way to predict the output of transformer, other than actually running it.The most general computer, the turing machine also works that way. The next action of a machine is deterministic but there's no way to predict its output, you have to wait for it to finish.
>>107528071>Why do people act like this isn't extraordinary technology?Because it's really not. It's machine learning trained mostly on Reddit and Wikipedia, and sometimes actually good forums and websites. Everything "good" about ChatGPT comes from good training data, it scraped (stole) from a good resource and presented it to you, so you're happy with it.You probably could have found the source yourself, but having this "AI" find it for you and present it was more satisfying. The moment you ask something that people don't usually ask or talk about it fails just like a google search that funnels you into the results it "thinks" you want. Add to that the tendency to hallucinate, glaze you, and try to give you an answer even if it's not what you want instead of just saying "I can't". Every time when it actually matters it will waste your time or make the problem worse. My brother was asking about a problem on his home server and the AI actually told him to run rm -rf /, I've had similar experiences. One time I was having an issue where Windows would beep three times after loading, I knew that I had somehow enabled sticky keys or one of the other accessibility options, but wanted to test AI's capabilities. As you can guess in 99.99% of search queries about beeps from a computer it's going to be a BIOS post code, even if you explicitly say after boot or after logon, both Google search and ChatGPT would funnel you into the most common answer to your query.I was looking for manga/manhwa recommendations with specific plot themes and it just scraped lists it found online so most of the recommendations didn't even fit the criteria, when I tried forcing it to find exact matches it started hallucinating titles because it simply couldn't find what I was asking.
>>107528071AI has made it much harder to find information on the internet. Google before they broke boolean searches and dumbed it down was way better. The algorithms were much better.
>>107528071It's extraordinary... at being a bottomless money pit.

As a somewhat broke college student, should I buy a Google Pixel 9a for $350 and hope it lasts three years, or buy a new budget Motorola for $130 every year instead?
>>107527971I have that exact same phone. I bought it as a backup phone. It gets updates basically weekly, which is crazy for such a cheap phone. However, you'll probably want to de-bloat it because it is SLOW. Once you remove all the pre-installed crapware It's actually a really nice looking and feeling phone. It has solid build quality, gets updates regularly and feels good in the hand.
>>107527971sexel easily, if it falls apart there are fuckton of parts for it anyway + you have ifixit
>>107527971>budget Motorola for $130 every year insteadthey easily last 3 years and beyond
>>107527971I got a nothing CMF 1 for $50 more than the Motorola. Heard it runs out of RAM + has data farming bloat.
>>107527971Get a Samsung A17.
